How To Make This Delicious Festive Peppermint Martini:
1
Prepare the Glass
Start by getting your martini glass ready for a festive touch. Rim the edge with crushed peppermint candies. To do this, simply moisten the rim with a little simple syrup or water, and then dip it into the crushed peppermint. This gives the glass an extra bit of sparkle and flavor before the drink even touches your lips.
2
Make the Peppermint Mocha Cream (if you’re making it at home)
If you’re up for making your own peppermint mocha cream, here’s how:
If you prefer convenience, feel free to use store-bought peppermint mocha cream instead.
3
Mix the Drink
Now for the fun part—mixing the cocktail! In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, peppermint schnapps, coffee liqueur, and your peppermint mocha cream.
Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want the drink to be well-chilled and the ingredients fully incorporated.
4
Strain & Serve
Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass. If you want to add a little extra indulgence, drizzle some chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass before you pour in the martini.
5
Drizzle and Garnish
For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little maple syrup over the assembled kabobs. This adds a delightful contrast to the spicy Thai chili chicken. If you’d like, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
